Top Tips to Strengthen Your Intimate Relationship

When you are dating your partner, the spark is fresh, and you love doing everything together.

You think about them all the time, talk to them a lot, and tell all your friends about them.

However, as time goes on, many people find that the initial attraction can begin to fade, and they simply aren’t as passionate about their partner anymore. Don’t be alarmed. This kind of familiarity comes with spending a lot of time with someone, and to be frank, it can be hard to feel passionate about someone that has to be reminded to put the washing on every morning.

Luckily, familiarity doesn’t have to breed contempt, and in a long-term relationship, there are some things you can do to strengthen it. So, read on to learn more.

Go Sex Store Shopping

No, this isn’t a joke.

Sex toys are great things to introduce to a relationship and can be a useful aid in getting you and your partner to have fun in the bedroom again. Look for stores online, like My Amazing Fantasy in Andover, or look in your local area for sex shops, and don’t be embarrassed. This isn’t anything to be ashamed of, and it is perfectly normal to have a range of toys to play with in the bedroom. It is also a great way to learn more about what your partner likes too. When buying a chastity device, it’s important to research and select a reputable vendor that offers a variety of sizes and materials to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

Alone Time

Some people point out (incorrectly) that spending time alone in a relationship is bad for you. However, when you think about it, you cannot spend every moment of every day with your partner without it becoming suffocating.

So, try to spend some time each day apart, even if it is an hour with you upstairs and your partner downstairs. This can allow you the space to decompress after a hard day at work and will give you time to reflect.

Date Days (or Nights)

However, even if you are 10, 15, or 20 years into a relationship, you should be making room for date nights or days. This can be something as simple as the 2 of you spending 2 hours each week in a coffee shop.

Again, this will give you the time to talk, away from the pressures of work, kids, or anything else, and will enable you to focus solely on each other.

Express Anger (Productively)

It’s worth noting that there is no such thing as a relationship that has never been through a rough patch, especially a long-term one.

However, when your partner is annoying you or you have argued, you have to learn to express your anger productively. This will prevent resentment from building under the surface, will help you to voice how you feel, and will focus both of you on resolving the underlying problems.

Talk to Someone

It is a fact that 1 in 3 people have a mental health issue. If left unchecked, this can cause havoc in a relationship.

So, if you or your partner have mental health problems, it can be worth seeing a therapist together (or apart) to help you to work through the problems and see how they are impacting your relationship.
